I haven't noticed anybody else mention this kickstarter. I have no association with these guys, I just like maps and hope this succeeds :-) http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1806414228/landescapes-rpg-and-miniature-fantasy-game-poster

The last L&L article has crystallized an impression that I've been getting for awhile. DndNext sounds like it is going to have only a fairly small number of classes and that these classes will fiercely protect their perceived niches to a massively greater extent than has been the case in any...

Rather than hijack the other thread on the latest blog I'll start another. The following quote comes from the Sneak attack vs Backstab blog: Blog: Sneak Attack vs Backstab 3 Hopefully this is just an exaggeration or really badly worded. But taking it at its word DndNext sounds like a really...

Another blog post up, this one asking about whether high level characters should have keeps/followers etc. As I write this there seems to be a fair consensus that this stuff is cool but should be optional (an opinion that I also hold) Whoops! Browser Settings Incompatible

I don't think anybody has pointed out the new blog on dice tricks //http://community.wizards.com/dndnext/blog/2012/02/17/dice_tricks As is so often the case when game designers discuss math they get it wrong. 2D20 taking the best is NOT at all the same as getting a +5 bonus. The biggest...

Somebody brought a Vampire character to yesterdays LFR game, and man is it awful in that context. I'm not at all talking about the mechanics. I'm talking about the flavour. First, we had the massive problem of "And why are we adventuring with a vampire and not just killing it on sight?" Its...

I want my character to take the arcane initiate wizard multiclass feat. And take Beguiling Strands as the encounter power. Its a Mage power and not a Wizard power but I thought that the two were basically freely interchangeable. The character builder doesn't let me do this, even after this...

Against my better judgement I just subscribed to DDI for a month and am trying out the CB. I created a mage. It will allow me to pick Wizard encounter and Daily powers but it won't let me pick wizard at will powers. Is a mage actually allowed to swap in Wizard powers? If he is, is there a...

I can't seem to find this information anywhere. What are the vertical dimensions of a blast/burst spell? I;ve just acquired a dragonling familiar and I want him to use spells from the air without coming into melee distance. I'm guessing that the spell goes up and down the same vertical as...

If one takes the Spirit Talker feat (ie, multiclasses into Shaman) does your spirit get the Spirit Boon effect? I'm guessing that they shouldn't (it arguably makes the feat too strong) but the wording certainly seems to imply that they do.

I'd like to get some opinions on how balanced the Arcane Trickster is. At first blush, it seems quite overpowered. Its MUCH more powerful than a rogue/wizard would be. If you compare it to a character who advances two levels of spell caster for every level of rogue it 1) Gets better spell...
